European Higher Education Area
The Bologna Process had its origins in the Bologna Declaration of 1999, which aimed at establishing an European Higher Education Area and at harmonizing the European higher education systems until 2010. Originally signed by 29 European states the declaration is now implemented by 47 states.
The overarching goals are the establishment of three cycle system (bachelor/master/doctorate), quality assurance and the comparability and recognition of study periods and degrees. In putting these goals into practice instruments, such as the diploma supplement and the introduction of a credit system based on ECTS, provide an important basis. Accordingly, transparency and an increased mobility are central objectives of the Bologna Process.
Every second year, follow-up conferences on the Bologna Declaration have taken place, in order to evaluate the process and to adjust the strategy to future requirements. The European Higher Education Area was officially launched at the anniversary conference in Budapest and Vienna 2010. The conference not only served to reconsider the last 10 years of the Bologna process, but also helped to put the next decade into perspective. In doing so, the agreed-upon goals and priorities shall be consolidated and strengthened in the years ahead.
The legal requirements regarding the realisation of the Bologna process are determined by the state. The responsibility of the actual implementation, however, is assumed by the respective institute of higher education. The Salzburg University of Applied Sciences has introduced the bachelor and master system in most of its degree programs. This is an important component in making the higher education landscape more international and it furthers the recognition of degrees.
